Hoping I'm not still there for the 5th, that's for sure! I'd rather be in Dublin, PEI, Seattle, Hong Kong or Vegas!!!
Well here's an update of sorts for anyone still following this saga My brother saw the liver specialist about his cysts and they seem to think it is OK and wouldn't be an issue in relation to transplant. They did some followup labs which they will check out in a month, but that seemed to be more routine than anything else.So yeah that's good.Until the other day when he saw a naturopath and they did some tests and pronounced him chronically dehydrated (yes, the irony is not lost on me). Supposedly so that his organs were in danger at whatever level he was at. He's also got very low potassium (Guess this happens when you're vegan who hates tomato ! ). He's never been much of a drinker, but he's definitely been TOLD that he is in bad shape.He seems to think it's all over in terms of donating to me. I told him I didn't really care about that but it was more important that HE will be OK. So we're not quite sure where that is at - he is having followup tests in a month apparently to see where he is at (so his situation can't be THAT serious?!) but yeah.So he draink a "heap" of water over the weekend. When we asked him how much that was he exclaimed with such pride "2.5L" oh good grief!!Yes, I do find it very funny - here I am desperate to drink 3+L a day, and there he is, NOT drinking!
I hate to sound really thick, but why was drinking after a transplant so difficult, cariad? What exactly was the problem?
